I have been a contributor since 2006.

My input is limited to when I have time, and where I stumble across a subject which interests me. If I have access to materials that could help flesh-out an article, or if I think I can help make it more readable, I try.

I have my own set of preconceptions, misconceptions, opinions, soft-spots, flaws and other human characteristics. Those don't have any place in a Wikipedia article, where information free of personal interpretation is the object. I do attempt to keep those out of my contributions. Although I prefer reasonable discussion, those biases can certainly creep into the back-and-forth found on talk pages, no less from me than from other editors. It will serve you well not to expect earthshaking or infallible revelations, should you come across any sentences from my keyboard.

My current favorite unattributed quotation...

     Q. “What is the difference between ignorance and apathy?”
     A. “I don't know, and I don't care!”
